from Western Australia Date Reviewed: December 8, 2009 Strengths: Light, fast, beautiful to look at and better to ride. Most perfect geometry I've yet experienced yet, just awesome to ride you must ride one. Weaknesses: Paint, it's very pretty but uselessly soft. The rear adjuster thingies can move about, not enough to alter chain tension or geometry mid ride but enough to squeak a little to remind you to adjust them.

from san juan, Phils Date Reviewed: September 18, 2008 Strengths: The ride: the signature steel ride is simply perfect. Snappy and responsive, but never harsh. It makes you want to stomp and go fast. Spot on geometry yields excellent handling whether for xc or aggressive trails. Versatility: geared or single, you got it. Weaknesses: Cable routing can be improved, but no big deal. the sliding dropouts will tend to slide a bit, unless you shave off the paint at the dropout area. Also, the tiny alloy spacer/plate will get deformed from all the tightening and loosening. I changed mine to steel and had no problems since. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: all of them Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: local distributor Similar Products Used: Ive converted several aluminum frames, tried surly 1x1 and a niner too. This is the best so far. Bike Setup: Wanga 17", Fox VanR 100mm, Mary bars, Ringle hubs, Sun MachIV rims, WS spokes, Shimano Deore Hydraulic DBs, Chris king headset, Thomson post and stem, WTB saddle and Kenda/Geax/WTB rubber, depending on season

from Newcastle, australia Date Reviewed: April 27, 2008 Strengths: fast, fast, fast. This thing is quick. Steers quick, climbs quick. Has just enough flex to take the sting out of hits, but not to much to make it sluggish. Weaknesses: cable guides. Snappy handling will sit you on your ar$e if your not concentrating. Have to take of the paint on the frame under the sliders to stop the sliders from sliding when you don't want them to slide. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Glenrock Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: gt Peace Bike Setup: hope hubs, Dt rims.

from Laguna Niguel, CA, USA Date Reviewed: May 28, 2007 Strengths: Quality Steel. Perfect Geometry (In my opinion). User friendly/quality rear slider setup and dropouts. Weaknesses: Wish they made a SS only version to get rid of all the excess cable routing guides. Currently very difficult to find. My LBS is a dealer and currently cannot get VooDoo frames. I had to go online. I would guess that customer service from VooDoo is poor at this point. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $430.00 Purchased At: Phat Tire Similar Products Used: Tried various 29ers including Jamis Exile, but in the end 26' SS was the choice for me. I also ride a 99 Santa Cruz Heckler. Bike Setup: 07 Wanga, Marzocchi XC 600, Thompson seat post (layback)and stem, Azonic DW bars, King headset, Hopes laced to Mavic rims, Race Face Atlas cranks, Avid Juicy 5's.
